A word of appreciation is in order for those who faithfully shared in this project: Mrs. David Kothmann, Mrs. Irene Johnson, Mr. Dean Riggins and Mr. Lee Adamson. Dr. R. P. Oliver gave valuable suggestions and, of course, Dr. Billy James Hargis has made this thesis a reality through his encouragement, promotion and production. ‘A word regarding the footnotes which appear in the back of the paper is also necessary. The student willing to explore with honest inquiry, instead of Pavlovian salivation, will find more information in the notes than in the body of the thesis. A reading of the footnotes, therefore, is strongly recommended, not only for verification purposes, but also for vital additional information.Communism, Hypnotism and the Beatles By David A. Noebel The communists, according to Dr. Leon Freedom, have thought up nothing in brainwashing, or in any other phase of psychiatry. ‘All that they have done is to take what free science has developed and use it in a manner that would ordinarily be considered mad . . . there isn’t anything original about what they are doing, only in the way they are doing it. Their single innovation has been to use what they copy in a diabolical order. Their objective is solely to make minds sick, not healthy, to create frustrations. . .”* Dr. Freedom mentions that “the methods devised by the Free World to combat illness are used by the communists to create it.”? Edward Hunter, one of America’s outstanding authorities in the field of brainwashing, sum- marized the communist operation of mind-tampering with “the most diabolical intrigues of the past never descended to such dark, unstirred depths. There is something repulsive and against nature in it. This is not easy for the normal mind to grasp.” Little wonder the United States’ first ambassador to the Soviet Union remarked, “The great tragedy of the West is that its leaders—and they are all good, Christian patriotic men—simply are incapable of grasping or understanding the nature of the enemy bent upon their destruction.”* It is no secret that the communists have determined in their innermost councils to destroy the United States of America.5 The methods to obtain our destruction have varied from time to time but the goal has never changed. One of the methods concocted to bring about the demise of the United States is a weapon known as menticide: a lethal psychological process that produces a literal suicide of the mind! A well-known professor stated that “the Communist Conspiracy. . . conducts scientifically planned attacks on the human mind on many levels with techniques adapted to the circumstances,” It is true that methods vary in this field of menticide, but the object is the same—to create a sick mind! The communists, through their scientists, educators and entertainers, have contrived an elaborate, calculating and scientific technique directed at rendering a generation of American youth useless through nerve- jamming, mental deterioration and retardation.” The plan involves con- ditioned reflexes, hypnotism,’ and certain kinds of music. The results, destined to destroy our nation, are precise and exacting, Little wonder the Kremlin maintains it will not raise the Red flag over America—the Americans will raise it themselves. If the following scientific program destined to make our children mentally sick is not exposed, mentally de- generated Americans will indeed raise the communist flag over their own nation! That certain kinds of music are very destructive is not new. As early as 2500 years before Christ, observations of the effects of music on the com- posite of mind, body and emotion were written on papyri by the Egyptians, Pythagoras established that music was an exact science which exercised a profound effect on the senses and emotions. Plato understood the destruc- tive qualities of certain kinds of music. In The Republic he states that Page 1
